Why NJNYTC? I joined NJNY because of Coach Gags. He took me in when no one else would and helped me become the runner I am today.

Greatest strength as an athlete: I would like to think that I am very coachable and when it comes down to it I would do whatever I could to help out the team whether it be leading workouts, pacing races or just to be there to hold a stop watch and time intervals.

Greatest weakness: Not doing a better job of listening to my body. But I’ve been working on that!

Favorite Gags Quote: “51+54=1:45 It’s very simple. Don’t make it complex.” On how to run 1:45. I went on to run 1:45 going 51.7 53.7.
